[YLO]

I just bought my first rider, and i don't find how to change his "no nameXXXXXXX" in a real name.

There must be a way to do that ?

[NoPikouze]

clic on the rider -> extras

[YLO]

Thanks, it worked OK, but i didn't write the name in the right order , and it seems this "extras" buton disappeared now.
Can i do it again or not ? I don't really care in fact, because it's not important to play...

[flockmastoR]

no you can type the name just ONE time

Where do i send the paypal payment for the Your RSF-License,


I certify that the money will be transferred in the 5 next days, either by Paypal or by international transfer.

Prod.: 93 days RSF-License
direct transfer: 3 €
Paypal: 3,30 €

So i can click confirm and it will activate me the thing if i understood correctly but, what paypal or email adress or whatever do i send the money?

You click on "continue" than gives a button "Paypal" just click on it..

[nervi]

[Berlin Marks]

[nervi]

There u go, now it activated before i paid, which i couldn't cause i had no founds after all in the account, and now it will add even more days when i try to pay it next time for the first order, let's just lol.. yeah, let's.. just.. send them an email aswell, i guess.

[NoPikouze]

IF you use paypal with the button from RSF, then you can put in a credit card number and it works fine, at least it did for me
Anyway, don't be too nervous, if you pay in a couple of days it should be ok

How does the weather effect the race?

[flockmastoR]

hm lets say like in reality, hot and very cold weather effect the power loss of riders. the same with the wind

[Robyklebt]

Actually fairly well done the weather:

high and low temperatures cost more energy.
sun and heavy rain cost more energy
So perfect weather is something like 20 degrees and cloudy at RSF (maybe it's 18 or 22 degrees, don't know exactly)

Wind: Headwind: In tempo it costs more energy. Just following actually it costs less
Backwind: the opposite. If your just following, it's harder than headwind, higher speed etc.
sidewind: Costs more for everybody. If just following IMO the toughest.

Special effect with heavy rain: Weak downhill riders can be dropped in downhills, from -9 on mostly.

When does the riders get older? Does every rider get older at the same time?

[flockmastoR]

Yes. Every rider gets older on the 1. of each month which is our season change too

Special effect with heavy rain: Weak downhill riders can be dropped in downhills, from -9 on mostly.

And pavé/cobblestone-parts get harder and more selective with rain.

Can u sign out from a tour? forfeit, unsign ect

[Zentaron]

No. Not after the tour has started. If there is any comprehensible reason (illness, changed working times, ...), you can try to send Buhmann a PM and hope he'll take you out. However, if you want to be taken out of a tour, you shouldn't do anything, no tempo, no escaping, no sprinting or such things. Otherwise you influence the race in a bad manner.

Great so i'm gonna waste 3 weeks in vuelta getting bullied by div1's :/

[NoPikouze]

Hihi
try to analyse which stages will be given to breakaways and then send a good rider (ie a classic rider) and a helper in the group. If you have any good rider of course

1. What decides whether a rider can follow in a Team Time Trial or not?
I did a team time trial with no idea of how dropping works. One of my time triallists is a very poor climber. Normally, he will be dropped when the road goes up 6% and the time trial had parts 4%. What effort can someone like that take. We're talking 43 climbing, 82 flat and 65 TT.

2. Is the budget available for riding races higher when you reach a higher division?
In the vuelta, some teams have over 500k of salary a day. Are they compensated for that or is it all from their own pockets?

no.. you have to pay it yourself
with 500k salary, you have to pay 125000 every day (- the money you earn)

Well, flat doesnt matter in time trials.
And usually on a 4 there is no sieb... Maybe in the ttt a "hüber" (80 hill and 80 tt) would be too strong though. But a simple climber or classic rider, I dont think there is a risk. But you have to try

[Team Lidwinia]

thank you. sadly there aren't a lot of TTT's for practice and finding out how it works

[ssssj]

It says the training time is 00:30, but is it the time of which coutry you are in or what country.
